## Summary

The procurement process for the "School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme - Supply" is being managed by Supply Chain Coordination Limited, a public authority based in London, United Kingdom. This planned procurement, initiated as a tender, falls under the category of food, beverages, tobacco, and related products. The procurement process is currently in the planning update stage, with a framework agreement intended to supply fruit and vegetable products to distribution hubs across England for key stage 1 children. The framework is expected to commence on 25 August 2028 and run until 24 August 2032. A future notice date is anticipated on 1 November 2027, with additional details to be provided in a forthcoming tender notice.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in food distribution and supply, particularly those focusing on educational and government-funded initiatives. The framework agreement is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE), as indicated by its planned division into lots. This structure allows specialised suppliers to bid on specific segments of the contract that align with their business capabilities, enabling them to expand their market presence and participate in a stable, multi-year agreement with a public sector entity.
